Patent GB-2303095-A (GB)
Title: Dicing substrates
Inventor: IMOTO KATSUYUKI
IPC: B23K26/14
Filed: 1996-07-04
Abstract: A laser beam 3 is converged by a lens 4 and focused at a predetermined place O above the surface of a substrate 1 to be diced. A flow of assist gas G 0 , having a certain constant pressure supplied from a gas intake 6 surrounds the laser beam 3. As the laser beam 3a is defocused, the beam spot diameter S is expanded and its energy distribution is moderated. And as the gas is blown off on the substrate 1 at constant pressure, such moderation is facilitated and expanded, generation of strains due to thermal deformation is suppressed and the substrate is cut by crack propagation.

Patent GB-2315177-A (GB)
Title: Dispersion compensating waveguide for optical transmission systems
Inventor: BYRON KEVIN CHRISTOPHER
IPC: H04B10/2519
Filed: 1996-07-06
Abstract: In order to use one dispersion compensating fibre element for selecting a given value of dispersion, one or more frequency or wavelength dependent optical reflection gratings (G 1 , G 2 , G 3 ) is located at such a position along the unit 8 that the double traversal of a section results in a desired value of dispersion at a frequency. A directional coupler 9 diverts the reflected wave to utilisation means 10 for its recovery. If a different value of dispersion at the same wavelength, or if some value of dispersion at a different frequency, is required, a reflection grating effective to reflect at the appropriate frequency and at the appropriate position, gives the required values.

Title: Disassembling components; releasing fasteners or connections
Inventor: CHIODO JOSEPH DAVID
IPC: B09B5/00
Filed: 1996-12-09
Abstract: Techniques are described for assising disassembly of an article by triggering shape transition of shape memory material within the article.

In another form, shape memory polymer is used as a releasable fastener, the shape memory polymer losing shape integrity above a predetermined transition temperature. Also described is a method of sequential disassembly by triggering shape memory elements at different times, for example, by using a progressively increasing/decreasing temperature. Also described are fasteners/defasteners using shape memory material for a variety of applications, including mechanical fasteners either resilient or screw thread, for vehicle facia panels, instrumentation or door hinge mountings and electronic component holders.

Title: Packet-based network device with forwarding database having a trie search facility
Inventor: JENNINGS KEVIN
IPC: H04L49/111
Filed: 1999-10-29
Abstract: A communication device such as a router or switch for a packet-based network has a hardware trie search facility. At least part of a memory is divided into blocks of different sizes, each block consisting of a multiplicity of locations. A shift register holds a network address representing the destination of a packet. This network address constitutes the search key for the memory. A fixed number of bits of the key are used to access a location in a first block which provides a pointer to a second block and an indication of the size of that block. The size of the block determines the number of bits from the key required to access the block. The shift register shifts the key to the left by the number of bits previously used so that successive numbers of bits in the key are used to access successive blocks until a pointer points to an entry in an associated data table identifying a route to the required destination.
